Course summary
What this course is about
Here's what The University of Law says about its Certificate of Higher Education in Law course.
The Certificate in Higher Education in Law is a 1 year, full-time, or 2 year, part-time programme studied online. It provides an opportunity for students who wish to experience studying law without committing to a full degree programme. Students will study six subjects at Level 4. Successful completion of the Cert HE would enable students to apply for the University's LLB and, subject to meeting relevant requirements such as time limits, obtain recognition of prior learning for the modules studied and therefore join the LLB in Year 2.
If students have set their sights on other careers, such as politics, business or journalism, the transferable skills they will learn on this law program will provide an excellent launch pad for these ambitions and more. With this professionally focused qualification, applicants can expect to learn practical skills coupled with a focus on their future employability.

Since the uni is near Oxford Street, there are lots of places to eat at during lunch, whether it's korean, thai, japanese, everything is included. Usually, there are lots of people out at the cafes nearby or the pubs which makes the are more lively.

I like that we always get emails of what events are coming up during the upcoming month and we also get emails of pro bono opportunities.

The library is the best since it is always quite for me to be able to concentrate on my work and the chairs and couches are always comfortable. The cyber lounge is the best place to hand out with friends or if you wanna study but don't want the silent environment of the library.

The University of Law open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
